Project description:A transcriptome analysis was performed using RNA sequencing to uncover the cellular responses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 to SPI031. To assess the direct effects of the compound on cellular processes, the transcription profile was determined from cells treated for 5 min with a sub-inhibitory concentration of SPI031 (0.2x MIC).
Project description:The Pseudomonas aeruginosa MvfR-dependent QS regulatory pathway controls the expression of key virulence genes; and is activated via the extracellular signals 4-hydroxy-2-heptylquinoline (HHQ) and 3,4-dihydroxy-2-heptylquinoline (PQS). Our findings reveal a multi-layered homeostatic regulation of PQS and HHQ and the MvfR regulon component PqsE which is a key mediator in orchestrating this homeostatic regulation.
Project description:To further determine the origin of the increased virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 compared to Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, we report a transcriptomic approach through RNA sequencing. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutioned sistems-based analsis of transcriptomic pathways. The goals of this study are to compare the transcriptomic profile of all 5263 orthologous genes of these nearly two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous gram-negative bacterium capable of forming biofilms on living and non-living surfaces, frequently leading to undesirable consequences. We found that lauroyl arginate ethyl (LAE), a synthetic non-oxidizing biocide, inhibited biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa at sub-growth inhibitory concentrations in both static and flow conditions. To identify the genes targeted by LAE, a global transcriptome analysis was conducted using a gene chip microarray.
Project description:Derived from coenzyme A degradation in mammalian cells, the aminothiol cysteamine may represent a promising new adjunct treatment for pulmonary exacerbations in cystic fibrosis (CF). This experiment aims to characterise the effect of sub-MIC cysteamine on P. aeruginosa strain PA14. Samples were cultured in SCFM2 (triplicate), and exposed to either cysteamine or a H2O control.
Project description:LFQ proteome datasets of Pseudomonas aeruginosa type strain PA14 cultured at different enviromental conditions: Exponential-, transition- and stationary(12 h and 24 h)growth phases. Biofilm (24 h and 48 h), low osmolarity conditions (control = exponential phase), iron starvation and respective control, Sub-MIC ciproflox treatment and respective control.
Project description:Microarray analysis for the biofilm cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 wild-type vs the tpbA (PA14_13660) mutant in LB medium at 4 and 7 h at 37C
